Directly backing onto Merricks Creek Reserve with pastoral land beyond to offer rare tranquillity close to the village and beach, this immaculately presented four-bedroom home with self-contained wing flaunts surprising space with fabulous flexibility in the most glorious country-meets-coast locale.

Defined by high ceilings, wide halls and expansive dimensions, the residence features both formal and informal living and dining zones with multiple sets of sliding glass doors opening to an array of alfresco patios, while a self-contained two-bedroom wing with bathroom, third lounge, kitchenette and separate entry is ideal for extended families or the lucrative Airbnb market just 700m to the beach.

The spacious kitchen with sleek white appliances, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry provides a coveted open-concept flow to make entertaining a breeze, which will be truly divine over long hot summers in the light-filled dining room spilling out via two sets of sliding glass doors to a wraparound alfresco area with treetop vistas and barely a neighbour in sight.

With the wonderful versatility of keeping the wings seamlessly united as a sprawling family home or closing off the self-contained zone as needs dictate, a large master with walk-in robe and ensuite, comfortable junior bedrooms and three bathrooms endow this incredible home with all the room you’ll ever need.
